Sending Money

Adding funds for someone at Upson County Jail typically follows standard Georgia deposit methods: online or vendor transfers, lobby kiosks, ATMs, or mailed money orders with a printable voucher. For online or phone deposits, have the state, facility name, and the inmate's full name or ID ready so the payment routes to the right account. Mailing a money order? Follow the voucher and formatting instructions exactly—small mistakes can delay posting or get the deposit rejected. Once processed, funds go to the inmate's account, but the jail often applies money to outstanding debts or fees first. The remaining balance becomes available after those deductions.
